Zombpunk: STEM
on March 31, 2012
This book would have received five stars from me, if not for the spelling and punctuation mistakes.
That said, I felt the premise and characters were compelling, and the pacing was handled very well with no irrelevant side-trips by any of the cast. Every scene either led directly to the next or else set up a scene soon to come, and everything that happened in each scene was necessary to understanding the total story.
I have to agree with a previous reviewer about the disappointment at a tantalizing thread left dangling. I recommend getting some beta readers to help with typo-detection on any future projects, such as a sequel....
